Re: Iris foetidissima - Any hybrids with?

'Holden Clough' was originally listed as a hybrid of  chrysographes (pod parent!) and unknown, but obviously pseudacorus was a parent. Roy Davidson, the co-founder of SIGNA, speculated that foetidissima was probably the other parent. It seems obvious that the grower got his seeds mixed up. So nobody really knows.                        Joan Cooper, Minnesota        Zone 4

HOLDEN CLOUGH appears to be a hybrid of versicolor and pseudacorus.
